https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=easton.tides I use this app. You can go as far into the future or past as you like. Check tides all over the world (useful for holidays/planning). Also shows variance due to storm surge and weather conditions. Very useful app...

Shimano ultegra 5500 is a nice piece of kit👍🏻

80lb j-braid grand is supple, easy to cast and very strong.

If you're lead is holding then no, you're fine. I fish on the Mersey. If you cast a 7oz lead straight out and don't paye any line out your rig will just roll until it finds a snag.

A method used in strong tidal pull, often used when fishing from a boat but works from the shore. Cast uptide and let out a load of slack line to create a big bow. This helps the leads hold in the strong pull.

10% off at Gerrys on all the century stock (and everything else I think) Not often you get a discount on their stuff.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone! Be sure to make the most of the time off work and get a fishing trip or two in 👍😉⛄🎁

These (or similar) work well and can be applied to the spool whilst it's still on the reel. https://amzn.eu/d/4hQ5vOD

I know you shouldn't have to, but a couple of wraps of tape and forget about it. All my rods with sliding reel seats have had this done. Better to do this than use glue. At least you have the option to move the seat to a different position later if desired.

I believe you pal 😉 There's bound to be an odd better fish in and amongst.

My local chippy does a cracking haddock and chips 😉

A few wraps around the edge of the seat with the thread and on to the shrink wrap of the rod.

I have one. Perfectly good reel. Good line lay. Smooth drag. Plenty of power for the size. I've ordered another. It'd be daft not to at this price.

Just a heads up for anyone interested. 3000 and 4000 size reels are 63% off at the moment. £29.99 and free delivery. Great reels for LRF, Lure, light float or light mackerel fishing. Don't think you'll get a better reel for £30. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/daiwa-18-ninja-lt-reel

Use them to get the bubbles whipped up in the bath 🤣
